# [5 Things to Remember for Your Choir Rehearsal](https://blog.discoverworship.com/articles/blog/view/74/5-things-to-remember-for-your-choir-rehearsal)

There are SO many things to remember for a great choir rehearsal but here are 5 important ones.

1.) Whether you have 45 minutes or 90 minutes of rehearsal time, ***plan*** out the flow of the rehearsal. It's imperative that leaders realize the importance of being prepared. A great rehearsal experience is one that flows and keeps the excitement and energy throughout the entire practice.

2.) Make sure the rehearsal space is ***clean***. I've seen some rehearsal areas that were unkept with sheet music all over the place. That's not an environment people feel comfortable in. Clean up. Clean up. Everybody everywhere.

3.) Always ***start on time***. If you don't start on time then it sets a precedent that it's okay to be late. 5 minutes wasted is 5 minutes during the rehearsal for a moment of prayer or reviewing a song.

4.) Don't forget that ***prayer*** is an important part of your rehearsal time. Yes it's rehearsal but praying together is part of preparing our hearts for worship.

5.) Remember you're growing a community. So, make sure everyone gets to know each other. This will help your ministry thrive throughout the year. ***Relationships***. Relationships. Relationships.
